Well I can say that Brodys teacherEric is wonderful with him and very patient. However he needs 2 drill the practice everyday into him bcuz its

better if the teacher does that's his responsibility. At these prices the teacher NEEDS to make sure he is practicing... a phone call mid week from Eric to Brody would be helpful!"

"Jesse has been teaching me ukelele and my husband guitar for the past few months. I had never picked up a ukelele before I started, and at the end of my f

irst lesson he had me playing a song! He works great with absolute beginners (like me) and with those who have been playing but want to hone their skills (like my husband). He comes to our house, is always on time, and is a great teacher. I would recommend Jesse to anyone."

"AAAA

I first met Cecilia while she was teaching violin to my niece. Iwas fascinated whith her caring, sweet, and patient nature while working whith a chi

ld. I liked her so much that I offer her to work at my kinder Garden (Kangurito, Lima- PerÃº) School, wich I am the principal. Cecilia was both the music coordinator of the basic levels and the Music Teacher. As music teacher, she taught six classrooms full of chijdren aged 2 to 5. I have only fond memories and the deepest gratitude to her for all the work.IÂ´Â¨d give her 100 out of 100 score in an evaluation!!!"

"I've worked with Owen in both teaching and performance settings. He is always on time, reliable with his part and has great ideas in rehearsal. On stage,

he is energetic and musical. I have also had the opportunity to observe his teaching; he is very easy to work with and able to articulate his ideas clearly so that they can be best absorbed by the student. Owen is a great teacher and a very fine musician."
